don Hall platform, on which Henry

vided into three parts, one going into the

Colonel L. L. Keller, for wears con-
nected with the Texas and Pacific, and
one of the best railroad men in the state,
was in Fort Worth yesterday and will
leave in short time for Chicago on rail-
road business. Colonel Keller says
Western Texas bids fair to prosper this
year
1t seems that one reason the rates or
cotton have not been fixed by
the Texas Traffic Association is
that some members Insist that
q diferentialsin favor Of Houston as com
pared with Galveston be made. This was
opposed and the matter has not as yet
been definitely arranged. Trouble Of
this same. character is nowttaking plsce on
wheat rates; lthe two warning cities being
Duluth and Minneapolis.
A wreck on the Missouri Pacific last
night, tive miles south of Fort Worth,
demonstrated that Fort Worth was great
railroad center, and that all trunk lines
led to this city. A locomotive on p
freight train Jumped the track and
efectually blocked all traffic on the Mis-
souri, Pacific track for hours. The south
bound Missouri Pacific passenger train
was in the yards here waiting to 90 south
and the northbound Missouri Pacific pas
senger WAS just south of the wreck. II
! this dilemma the Santa Fe track was
called into requisition. The southbouEC
/ pulled out to CIeburne thence to AIva-
RADIO, where the Missouri Pacific was
reached and the train sped on It's way tC
San Antonio. The north bound backed
down to Alvsrado then went over to Gle
buTne and came On to Fort Worth. Hat
the Santa Fe been blocked in any wsy th'
trains could have proceeded to Midlothian
and come in and gone OUT over the For
Worth and New Orleans. Nothing lik,
being railroad center, it is q good thin!

ANOTHER GULF LINE

A NEW AND GIGANTIC RAILROAD PROJECT
QUIETLY INAUGURATED-FRoMK KANSAS
CITY TO TIDE WATER.
A gigantic railroad scheme, of vitaI in
terest to Kansas City,ha quietly been in
augurated by eastern capitalists and it
will take tangible form within the next
three or four weeks. The project is
nothing more nor less than the building
of north and south line, having It's
norther terminus in Kansas City and the
southern terminus in Sabine Pass, some
$50 miles east of Galveston on the Gulf
of Mexico. The building Of north and
south lines from this portion of the west
has, Of late years, attracted the at
tention Of those heavy eastern cap
italists who place their millions in
railroad investments, either for present
or future returns. Indeed it is universally
conceded that no section of the country
at the present time presents as inviting a
field for railroad building as that which
lies between Kansas City and the Gull of
Mexico. 1t is territory Of boundless
natural resources, which as yet are
scarcely in the first stages of develop
ment. The country, however, is rapidly
being settled by q heavy but healthy i'm
migration, and the promises it holds for
the future are rich and attractive. These
facts have not escaped the attention of
railroad projectors, and for the past two
years nearly everyone of the more power
fulrosds has been secretly but persistently
crowding its way into the coveted terri
tory.
The movement now on foot and which
has just been made public, is for the con-
struction of road under the name Of the
Kansas City and Sabine Pass Railway. It

A GREAT BIG SCARE.
That is About What the Indian Trouble
Amounts To.


RAwLINs, WYo., Ang. 19.-The mail
coach that arrived here last night was es-
corted out fifteen miles from Meeker by q
body guard. Late advices from that point
state that the town is being guarded
night and day by force OF armed men
A conference was held with the Indians
Tuesday morning, but nothing was de-
termined. Business men and large prop
erty holders declare there is no Indian
war. The militia were expected to arrive
ct Meeker this morning. They will per
heps try to drive the Indians from the
state, when the Wsr will begin in earnest.
Everything points to the fact that
Colorow having dug up the Ratchet,
the Utes must now and forever
be driven out. Three companies
of cavalry would be sufficient force to
take all the Indians out of the state. II
fight is forced the settlements in Bear
and Snake rivers will no doubt be
destroyed and many people killed, as the
state militia and few volunteers will be
no match for the Indians. The govern
ment should st once dispatch troops to
the Snake and Bear rivers. Everything
in Northwestern Colorado is al excite
kment. The people are leaving their homes
and crops for places of safety, while the
Indians are receiving reinforcements from
the Unintah and Uncompshgre agencies
The outlook is anything but pleasant.

Tnteregting Land peeigIong.

The commissioner of the general land
Office has recently rendered several de-
cisions or special interest TO settlers IN
this vicinity.
In June 1855. Adrian Yeager made
final proof on the south east quarter OF
section %, township 3, range b, in
this precinct. A short time prior it
appears from evidence produced, he
baTgained TO sell, or made a verbal
agreement TO that effect with john
Walker, who furnished the money to
pay Gus with and took the land. Last
spring Frank Stout entered q protest
against the Issuance OF patent for the
land and the case came up Tor q hear
ing At the EIcCOOk Land Office where
q decision was rendered in favor of
Yeager, but Stout appealed the case
to the commissioners who reversed the
decision on the grounds that the claim
had been sold before final proof was
made.
The case of Henry Cook is oUe of
still greater Importance and will elicit
more general interest. Cooks claim
IS but a few rods west of the corpora
ton limits OF the village and is a very
valuable one.
About eight months ago Crittenden
Graham entered q protest against the
issuance Of patent for this land, the
northeast quarter section Is, 3 81, on
the ground that Cook moved from il
homestead on this land which he en-
tered As & presumption. The case was
duly tried a. the McCoOk land Office
where a decision was gwen to Cook
whO had introduced considerable cyl
dence IN rebucal.
The case, however, was appealed TO
the commissioner of the general land
Office vino has decided in favor of Ora
nam.
Cook took this land a number Of years
ago and never anticipated having any
trouble with his title to his land.
He will carry the case to the su-
preme court.-CulbertsOn sun.
